Careful Mr Ahmaninejad, in this latest, neocon-envenomed big screen stand-off, the figure-of-speech Spartans are onto your case. Well, three hundred of them at least—and the pan-Asian genocide they want to see beats Abu Ghraib hands down.. The rest of the Spartans—a metaphor for corrupt congress-people, East Coast liberals, reactionary palaeocons (terribly wrinkled), Nancy Pelosi--are relaxing back at home (and Pelosi’s going to Syria), fouling up the true patriots’ vision of what the film calls a ‘New Age of Freedom’.
